I forget if it's going to be just for tennants in the building to use or is there going to be a restaurant up there. It looks like it will be a very impressive space when complete.
It's not as easy sneaking into spaces with a nice suit and complimentary lapel pin anymore and this is a brand new build. I say this as I recall the penthouse winter garden is for TD and not open to the public.
I believe those are going to have the TD logo on them
That makes sense. I'm sure it'll look a lot better than empty black squares although I'm not sure if big logos really suit the building.

They don't suit it at all. Hopefully at some point they will at least remove them off the sloping sides. I'm not sure why TD needs more logos up on its towers in Toronto.
Toronto and commercial buildings having corporate signs at the tops of buildings. There has been anticipation for these signs on UT over the years and even disappointment (although the majority of posters aren't supporters) when a sign wasn't included in the renderings.
I doubt a bank even considers forgoing these signs. The annual costs vs the number of people that will see the sign is unsurpassed. I don't think there's much quality in acquisition but, it's a exceptional bang for your buck reminder. Something that may be considered now is free product placement in a Netflix series that shows the building and those series are viewed in areas with tons of growth potential. I don't know if they would have gone with a sign on each side 20 years ago.
Yonge Street side. Presumably that second elevator core will serve the large mid-rise office podium that runs from the tower east to Yonge Street (see rendering below).

There's only 4 basement levels in Phase 1 (presumably reaches bedrock) so I think this is getting close to as deep as they'll go. The Phase 1 tower is the shorter of the 2 towers at 73 storeys (263 metres)... but residential sales totals for this tower alone were well in excess of $1 Billion.
They’ve fattened up this one by about 10% and added another 300+ units (presumably shoe boxes for students), now up to 1423 residential units. 4 institutional floors in the podium have been converted to 6 floors of residential uses (Toronto Metropolitan University opted out of the building’s institutional space).
Construction is continuing for now. Ultimately, I hope they find a buyer (even Concord lol) or you can kiss the height increase goodbye and a chance at more floors just to get something completed quickly.
To clarify, the creditors plan to continue construction and a potential buyer will delay this for years.
speculating a big difference between the creditors and a potential buyer in height. A buyer will factor 90 storeys. The creditor may weigh their losses and cap it at 60 floors. Of course, that doesn't considered that there may not be any potential buyers interested.
